Title: Weatherby SA 459 Turkey
Post by: Hersh on December 23, 2013, 10:33:18 AM
Anyone set one of these up.  They look and shoulder awesome. Only drawback is that they only come in a 3" chamber.  Also looking at a stoeger m3500. Any info on these would be awesome. Thanks. Ryan

I have the SA08 20 ga with the pistol grip from the 459. I don't care for the 459. I run a sum toy 562-5 with fed 7s through it. I love it. You don't need anything bigger than 3 inch. This gun will kill em farther than you need to shoot them. I got it at the end of the season two season ago. Tagged out in less than 24 hours.

You do know the 459 is a 20 ga?

Actually the 459 comes in 12 and 20g models. I am interested in the 12.

They must have just started that. It used to only be  in 20.


There are several of us with the weatherbys. We like them.
